This man should have tree trunks.

Any benefit on getting those?

My romaleos 2 are getting beat up after all these years.

I heard many complaints about them coming apart in a short time (i.e. a year or less)

If not a ban hammer.

>They call these people athletes.

Athlete =/= healthy

when should i get new 1 rep maxes? my 5 rep squat is only 5kg lower than my current tested 1rm

You shouldn't bother testing for a long time you skinnyfat weakling.

I hardly ever test real maxes. if novice/intermediate add 5kg to DL/SQ and 2.5kg for BP each week/2weeks or advanced intermediate/advanced add that 5kg to DL/Sq and 2.5kg to BP each month.

Usually they come through the post between 5-7 working days after hitting your previous 1rm with 5 reps.

Whats your maxes?

Wanna compete against me? I'm at 150/80(possibly higher than 80 but no time to max)/160(possibly 170)

First to 200 wilks?

Wood is fine, but can be vulnerable to weather and environment.
But it's resolable and adjustable.

"Plastic" can be more durable (depends on which), but it's not resolable and can only be adjusted for more heel height, not less.

HATER REPS

Going on from this, when should you get lifting shoes? Coming up on a 4 plate squat now and considering it

My Wilks is 243.75 for total Wilks, are you talking about just squats?

My squat Wilks score is 82.37, but seems to be exploding with 5 day a week training

whos sean?

I was joking that we are weak

Just finished reading American Psycho and I can answer the question as to whether it was all really happening.

It was. He was just existing in such apathetic and self absorbed social circles that he never received punishment for it.

what's your gym wilks?

I wonder how much patrick bateman could bench, he was pretty fit in the movie

Someone told me it was 395.

>Just finished reading American Psycho
> I can answer the question as to whether it was all really happening
lmaoooooooooooooooo

that's pretty high T B H. He probably lied to get in your pants

I think he could at least bench 120.

He was stunning

>when should you get lifting shoes?

As soon as you start training.

Now whether or not they should have heels, that depends on your preference and what lifts you're training.

Post rear glute spread.

If you could provide an actual counter argument rather than plebian rofllmaos I would be interested to read it.

Thanks based trap

can you elaborate though on the last bit?

Unlikely. He was pretty skinny, just really lean.

>reminder than DanishRvsk has a turkish gf

Fuckign race traitor

Why can't powerlifting be this athletic?

100 x 5

He could be really strong without the fat. My old gymbro was.

That's what I like to think anyway but he could have easily just been high reps

because it's not explosive

It is, in its own way

Ofc you can be strong without fat. But he was just small too.

Please tell me you don't idolise that coked up yuppy retard

Raised heel shoes are a meme tßh.

Theyre only really useful if you have large amounts of knee travel like weightlifters.

You do need a stable set of shoes though.

This isn't over George

>talk is about athleticism
>posts a bench only guy

is this some kind of memery?

Yeah true. He was shot in breathtaking lighting as well.

I see your point and will mimic this bench

With a real grip

>Raised heel shoes are a meme tßh.
they make me taller though

downey pls go

Define "athletic".

If it's just being ripped, there are plenty of powerlfiters who are. And there are plenty of weightlifters who are fat fucks.

Why are his feet close together? Does he not use leg drive?

DELETE THIS

I'm talking about the explosiveness, technique and precision.

Anybody can deadlift but not everybody can snatch

George Osborne?

I do. I really really do.

>with a real grip
Why

You don't know what leg drive is

>mfw

fuck off
there is nothing more cunty than 'MUH ATHLETICISM' meme fucks
they're always weak, skinny twink fucks as well, now fuck off

He literally does not use momentum from his legs to drive the bar upwards.
He may be constantly applying pressure to the ground but that's stabilisation and NOT leg drive you fucking dimwitted nigger.

Holy autism batman

>nobody can snatch

Everybody can swing a stick over their head, just like anybody can stand up with one.

>muh athelescjizm

Then what you think is leg drive is utter shit and no one should be doing it

>Anybody can deadlift but not everybody can snatch

"Everybody" can snatch. What the fuck are you talking about?

>explosiveness

Elite powerlifters are all explosive.

>technique

Have you seen the squat or bench?
Sure, the deadlift is simpler. But that's one out of 3 lifts.

>precision

Have you ever watched a weightlifting competition?
People miss their lifts all the time because of lack of precision.

No. I never said that. I thought you were better than strawmanning.

He may be stabilising himself with his legs, but he's not driving the bar with momentum created from his legs.

I simply asked why

Please explain why.

In other news there is a fat old woman sunbathing with her legs open and her tits out.

>My Wilks is 243.75 for total Wilks

Wait, that makes Rasputin an intermediate power lifter unless he's really fat (200lbs+). The gap between intermediate and advanced is massive (85 points) but still, he's not actually a total shitter, it's just that nobody below advanced levels really competes

flat soles are fine for a powerlifting style squat, literally noones ankle mobility is bad enough to warrant it for lowbar squatting. Weightlifting shoes are more trendy then anything else, coming from someone who bought a pair.

>do 3 weeks of nuckols 3x week bench program
>week 4 testing my max
>160kg - 172.5kg squat
>87.5kg - 90kg bench

???

If I said because we share a name would you believe me?

>why
Because you can't drive your legs into the bar in any meaningful capacity, but you can sacrifice range of motion and tightness doing so. It shouldn't be done.

Anyone with long arms and a headset can deadlift big weights.
See: Kabooey
Most people can't snatch big weights without learning the snatch.

>Elite powerlifters are all explosive.
'No'

>Have you seen the squat or bench?
>Sure, the deadlift is simpler. But that's one out of 3 lifts.

Most fat fucks here brute force it. Only the Chinese niggers care about technique and even then they're the most unathletic bunch of them all.

>Have you ever watched a weightlifting competition?
>People miss their lifts all the time because of lack of precision.
'no'

Inb4
>oh but I said it therefore it must be true

If that's the only reason then you're very silly.

>320 wilks is advanced
What the fuck. Maybe I'm not as shit as I thought.

>Because you can't drive your legs into the bar in any meaningful capacity, but you can sacrifice range of motion and tightness doing so. It shouldn't be done.
Lol

You literally do not know what you are talking about.

novice routines?

wow great rebbutal, you really convinced me, you sure changed my mind, wow.

>In other news there is a fat old woman sunbathing with her legs open and her tits out.

take a pic you newfag

Yeah I was just kidding.

Because I respect him as a master tactician who can paint his own positions as utterly sensible and those of his opponents as farcical, who can seize the centre ground whilst hiding his truly libertarian ideals of small government. And I think he's been a good chancellor

Do the novice or first intermediate program. You're not strong enough to progress every 3 weeks

Anybody who spends a lot of time deadlifting and has good genetics for deadlifting can deadlift big weights.

Anybody who spends a lto of time snatching and has good genetics for snatching can snatch a lot of weight.

Wow you sure got me there.

>'No'

If you have no idea how explosiveness and strength work, please just go.

>Most fat fucks here brute force it. Only the Chinese niggers care about technique and even then they're the most unathletic bunch of them all.

Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

>'no'

Please go watch some weightlifting before shitposting.
Look at all the missed lifts here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_World_Weightlifting_Championships_–_Men's_105_kg
Look at Dolega, one of the top elite in weightlifting back in the day. Bombed out.
Even Xiaojun bombed out here Because they were not precise.

And you can shitpost about "le technique", but some of the most legendary weightlifters had "bad" technique.
Pyrros Dimas is a major example.

>Talking about great rebuttals

>>Elite powerlifters are all explosive.

Lol

'No'

Sorry friend, I'm out to breakfast with my qt gf and don't have time to type a lengthy rebuttal to your autismo rant.

You here?

'no'

Lol

>gets BTFO by trappy-chan

>runs away

'No'

that's where internet arguments always eventually lead

She's on her front at the moment. But j guess I can take a picture of her melting candle of a husband.

I can agree with the fact that he is an expert cunt but, we are in way more debt than we were before.

I'm not the guy getting btfo. I'm

lmao

'No' ))))))

I think that's more a general strength score at best, I'm actually kind of strong to normies, but for a powerlifter i'm weak as fuck. At least i'm making gains, most people at the gym are lifting the exact same now as they were when i started.
